Cookie Policy

10 July 2026

This page transparently explains how the platform uses cookies and browser local storage.

1. Cookies and local storage

To work, the platform uses browser local storage (localStorage), needed to keep your session and some preferences. In addition, only with consent, it uses Google Analytics analytics cookies (see point 4) and, on pages where ad placements are present, Google AdSense advertising technologies managed through Google's CMP (see point 5). We do not directly install other advertising cookies beyond technologies managed by Google and its partners through AdSense and the CMP, in accordance with the user's choices.

The application is a Progressive Web App (PWA): the browser may install a service worker that caches certain static assets (icons, manifest) for offline use. This cache is technical in nature, requires no consent and does not track the user.

2. What we store in localStorage

We save technical and preference data necessary for the service to function and to remember your choices: • token — session token that keeps you authenticated; • refreshToken — token to renew the session without logging in again; • user — essential profile data, to display them in the interface; • cookie_consent_v2 — stores your cookie choice (accept or reject); • i18nextLng — the language selected for the interface; • bookingState (legacy technical name) — any temporary state for viewing an accommodation listing or making a request, without payment; • casa-di-ale:sidebar-collapsed — sidebar display preference; • pwaInstallPromptDismissed — remembers whether you have already seen the PWA install prompt; • pwaPushPromptHandled — remembers whether you have already responded to the push notification prompt.

3. Legal basis

Technical local storage is strictly necessary to provide the service and, under the ePrivacy Directive, does not require consent. Google Analytics cookies are installed only with consent through the site banner (Art. 6.1.a GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive). Google AdSense advertising cookies and identifiers are managed through Google's CMP and depend on the choices made in the related consent message. You can withdraw or change analytics cookie choices via "Manage cookies" in the footer; for ads you can use Google's CMP options and the tools provided by Google. GDPR protections still apply to any personal data involved.

4. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4)

With your consent in the site banner we use Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google) to collect, in aggregate and pseudonymised form, statistics on how the site is used: pages visited, traffic source and main interactions with the platform. For this purpose Google sets technical-statistical cookies, in particular _ga and _ga_<id>, lasting up to 2 years. The IP address is anonymised. These cookies are separate from advertising consent collected by Google's CMP for AdSense. If you press "Reject" in the site banner, Google Analytics is not loaded; you can change your choice at any time via "Manage cookies" in the footer.

5. Advertising cookies and Google AdSense

Ads may be shown through Google AdSense on SEO, catalogue, events and news pages. The base AdSense code may be loaded on the site for verification and ad-serving preparation, while visible ad placements are inserted only in configured sections. AdSense, Google's CMP and advertising partners may use cookies, identifiers, IP address, user-agent, page URL, approximate location data and ad interactions to serve ads, measure performance, cap frequency, prevent fraud and abuse and, if you consent in the CMP, personalise ads. If you deny consent, Google may show non-personalised or limited ads where available. The advertising consent message is provided by Google's CMP integrated with IAB Europe's Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF).

6. Third-party services

When you use certain features, third-party services may set their own cookies or receive technical data from your device: Google and Apple when you choose to sign in with those accounts; Google Analytics only with consent through the site banner; Google AdSense and Google's CMP when ad placements are present or when advertising consent is requested; map services when maps are displayed. Processing by these services is governed by their respective notices. When viewing maps (business directory and business details), map tiles are provided by Esri/ArcGIS (services.arcgisonline.com) and, if configured, by MapTiler (api.maptiler.com): both receive the device's IP address and User-Agent.

7. Management and deletion

You can delete stored data by logging out or clearing local storage and cookies from your browser settings. You can change analytics cookie choices through "Manage cookies" in the footer. For advertising preferences you can use Google's CMP message, when available, and Google's advertising control tools. You can also consult third-party notices to manage their cookies.

8. Push notifications (Web Push)

If you choose to enable push notifications, the browser stores a push subscription consisting of: a URL endpoint of the browser's notification service, cryptographic keys (p256dh, auth) and technical device information (userAgent). These data are stored on our server and transmitted to your browser's push service (e.g. Google FCM, Mozilla autopush, Apple APNs) to deliver notifications. The legal basis is your explicit consent through the browser permission (Art. 6.1.a GDPR). You can withdraw consent at any time from your user profile (Notifications section): this deletes the subscription from our server and unsubscribes the browser.
